The don also noted that the NYSC Trust Fund will address the challenges bedevilling the scheme.
His words:
“I see the Trust Fund law as a very apt one because there was an urgent need to address identified challenges bedevilling the scheme over the years, as nothing can be compared with the paucity of matching funds to discharge the lofty mandate of the scheme.
"It is believed that economic progress achieved by any society is strongly associated with the quality of its human capital and social interaction.”
Benefits of NYSC to Nigerian youths
According to Msuaan, the youth development scheme is fundamental to the unity and survival of the entity called Nigeria.
He added that the bill will further strengthen the responsibility of expelling the erroneous conception and the few misguided expressions about the nobility of the intent of the NYSC scheme, and Nigerian youths in general.
He said:
"It is worthy of note that the Trust Fund will help prioritise human capital development and social inclusion as a central anchor of our nation’s development agenda.
"The effect of the Fund Is predictably foreseeable. Nigerian youths are creative, resilient, upwardly mobile, and ambitious."
